As I was going through the stack of arrows looking for the right spine for my new bow. I found a group of arrows I made years ago. Some of them were re-crowned and crested 3 or 4 times. I don't even know how many times they have been re-fletched. Some have various marks and gouges, (one too deep to be used any more), up and down the arrow as a testament to how rough they have been treated. I still had 6 that were still good arrows. Although one of them was way too heavy for the others. (An experiment in compressing) This weekend I sanded the paint down, and re-crowned and crested them. They shoot great out of my CM.

What are they made out of?

3/8" dowel rods from the lumber yard. (Ramin)

It takes a lot of work and sorting to come up with a set of 12 good arrows from dowel rods. But the final product is as good as any arrow I have ever had. What I would like to know is --

Are there any other closet dowel rod users out there, and what are your techniques for making arrows?
